In this week’s episode the GPonline team discusses the future of the Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme (TERS) – an initiative to attract GPs to underdoctored parts of England – amid fears it could be scrapped.  

They also look at what we know about the current GP contract negotiations in England and what could happen at next month's special LMCs conference, which now looks set to be a referendum on the deal for 2025/26.

Plus, they talk about NHS England's planning guidance for the year ahead and what it had to say about general practice. Our good news story this week is about the contract deal that has been struck for general practice in Wales.

This episode is presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
